Infrared Thermometer
I am thinking of getting one of these to check trailer hubs/axle heat, as someone recommended. What kinda of readings am I looking at if I am having a problem with overheating? Is a hand to feel...

I point this out every time one of these threads pops up. You need to be aware of the spot to distance ratio of the reading area. That little pinpoint laser dot isn't the actual measurement area, it's only a representation of the approximate total read area for aiming purposes. A spot to distance ratio of 8 to 1 for example reads an 8" circle at 1 foot and expands proportionally the farther out you get. IOW, be close to get consistant measurements. Farther away and you get an average of a much wider area.
